Photographer's Note

The church as it is today was built from the twelfth to the sixteenth centuries. It had barely been completed when an extraordinary series of catastrophes befell it. It burned twice, struck by lightning in 1490 and again in 1568 during the Wars of Religion. Pillaging and hurricanes added to the list of its miseries, the ultimate disaster being the collapse of the tower in 1675. The Last Judgement door, with its vivid imagery dating from the thirteenth century, gives access to the ruined part of the nave. Access today is by the south door of the transept. Only the choir, the apse and the chapel of the Virgin have kept their roof vaults.

Bonjour Philippe,
I like here the splendid details of the church, a pity this everything in ruin changed through the different circumstance.
Thanks for posting Philippe, I learn with pleasure!
Bon weekend,
John.

Hello Philippe,
Excelent capture of this beautiful piece of architecture. Very good management of light, with the contrast indoor versus outdoor conditions. Good sharpness and enquadrement of the frame.

Hi Philippe, A nice use of light in taking this picture. I like the contrasts created by the different lighting conditions. A well captured sharp and detailed picture with clarity and depth. Well done.

Bonsoir Philippe,
Impressive architecture such churches are, this picture shows that again. I like most of the picture is in the shadow, while the light only can come in through the arches. Well done again.
Groetjes,
Lars

Hi Philippe. The interior beauty and details are well-rendered. It seems like the light was very helpful here providing plenty of light to illuminate this place. This place has an amazing history, thanks for sharing!

A very good light makes the details of the "other" artists very clear here, what a work they had in these ancient times, we only have to press the button for a part of a second:-)) Great view, Philippe !

Hello Philippe. A great photo you managed here, with a beautiful treatment of the light as it falls through the arches. Beautiful detail and texture can be admired in these artistic old carvings and stonework, with a pleasant tonal range of colors. Well done.

This has some really nice detail. And I like how you photographed it. It really funnels the eye in to the doors. The perspective and the use of the concave wall really enhances that feel. The repetition around the door of sculpture also helps that. It really lets us swirl in and see everything while doing so. And it's nicely exposed, not underexposed here or overexposed where the light comes through. Well done Philippe.

Bonjour dear Philippe
Lovely details in the shade...what I like is you have handled the light & shade admirably. The church is sadly in ruins but by seeing what survives, one can easily imagine the richness of the architecture when it was in its full glory!
Best Regards
